摘要： Systems and methods are provided for controlling functions associated with a touch-sensitive device (100) capable of being worn by a user. The touch-sensitive device (100) includes a substrate (110) with an outside surface (112) and an inside surface (114) opposite from the outside surface (112). A first contact sensing component (120) generates a first signal upon detection of a first contact with the outside surface (112), and a second contact sensing component (130) generates a second signal upon detection of a second contact with the inside surface (114). A processor (140) may be configured to interface with the first contact sensing component (120) and the second contact sensing component (130) and perform operations including: analyzing the first signal and the second signal to determine that a predetermined condition is satisfied, and in response to the analyzing, initiating a function associated with the predetermined condition.

摘要： A method in a wearable electronic device of detecting clothing includes: detecting whether the wearable electronic device is coupled to a user, determining whether the wearable electronic device is covered, and adjusting one or more device settings of the wearable electronic device. A secondary check can perform an additional determination of whether the wearable electronic device is covered with clothing. One or more sensors, such as a skin sensor, a tension sensor, an infrared sensor, or microphones, can be used to execute the steps in the wearable electronic device.

摘要： Embodiments relate to apparatuses for, and methods of, compensating for distance 206 and velocity present between a microphone and user's 202 mouth. Such devices and methods allow compensation for varying amplitudes of sound pressure received at a the due to a varying distance 206 between a microphone and an originating user's 202 mouth. Additionally, the devices and methods may also compensate for pitch shifts due to a Doppler effect caused by a non-zero velocity of a microphone relative to a user's 202 mouth.

摘要： A touch system user interface determines a signal profile associated with the use of a manipulator with a touch sensor component. The signal profile corresponding to a plurality of signal levels along a surface of the touch sensor component. The system calculates a geometrical attribute of that portion of the signal profile that exceeds a threshold signal value (e.g., the area or shape of the region) and determines a type of the manipulator (e.g., stylus, human finger, etc.) based on the calculated geometrical attribute.

摘要： A method is provided for alerting a user of scheduled tasks prior to falling asleep. The method includes associating an alarm device with a user's body by securing a wearable device to the user's wrist, placing the device in a pocket, integrating the device into the user's clothing such as a belt, or otherwise placing the device in contact with or adjacent to the user. The device includes one or more sensors for detecting physiological and/or environmental parameters such as heart, respiration, or pulse rate, body movements, eye movements, ambient light, and the like. Upon detecting a pre-sleep state, the device gathers information about tasks which the user desires to perform or attend to prior to going to sleep, and alerts the user before falling asleep.

摘要： There is described an electronic device having a touch-sensitive sensor and a piezoelectric sensor, and a method of operating the device. The electronic device detects an actuation of the touch-sensitive sensor, and a touch-sensitive signal is produced by the touch-sensitive sensor in response to detecting the actuation of the touch-sensitive sensor. Also, the electronic device detects an actuation of the piezoelectric sensor, and a piezoelectric signal is produced by the piezoelectric sensor in response to detecting the actuation of the piezoelectric sensor. Next, the electronic device determines whether the actuation of the touch-sensitive sensor is invalid based on the touch-sensitive signal and the piezoelectric signal. The electronic device then performs, or refrains from performing, an operation in response to determining that the actuation of the touch-sensitive sensor is invalid.
